[Event "USA"]
[White "Westmoreland, J."]
[Black "Kestler, V."]

So this is <not> Hans-Gunther Kestler

May-21-17  TheBish: Nice finish. Looks like 11. Nd5 wins too, threatening 12. Nf6+.
Jun-24-21  Cheapo by the Dozen: Fun game.

The main opportunities I see to pun on "Westmoreland" are the Vietnam War general and the St. Crispin's Day speech.

I'll go with something that, in that speech, Westmoreland was told to proclaim.
